THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
30th OCTOBER 2016             YEAR C       
Fr Seamus Stapleton, SCA
We are in deep mourning for our Parish Priest, 
Fr Seamus. 
He celebrated the 
10am Mass this morning with great joy. 
After Mass he greeted everyone and checked 
on how each person/ family was.
He went home to the Lord just before it was time to go in and start 
the 11.30 Mass.

We thank God for the few years that Fr Seamus served our parish, for all the love he put into all he did for so many.
He will be very much missed.
May he rest in peace.
